The Cleveland Cavaliers couldn't overcome a vintage performance from Derrick Rose to beat the Chicago Bulls on Thursday night. Should these expected juggernauts meet when it matters most come playoff time, though, plays like this from Timofey Mozgov give Cleveland reason to believe it can bang with Chicago's massive, talented frontcourt.

There was a time before Blake Griffin unleashed a dunk on him that, "threw down their spears, / And watered heaven with their tears,*" when Timofey Mozgov was simply a doofy Russian 7-footer playing center in the NBA.
